Drug task force investigates death, pot-growing operation in Edina

Authorities are investigating the death of 37-year-old Paul Schneider and a large marijuana-growing operation found in his Edina home Tuesday. Officers responded to the house in the 4200 block of W. 50th Street after Schneider's sister, Lori Miller, discovered his body and called 911.

Under investigation by the school district, Edina High School athletic director and assistant principal John Soma resigned Monday. He said it was for personal reasons. The district put him on administrative leave in August and officials were looking into allegations "that had nothing to do with his employment at Edina Public Schools," a spokeswoman said.
